An Automatic Light Monitoring System with Light-to-Frequency Converter for Flower Planting

Abstract

In this paper, an automatic light monitoring system with light-to-frequency converter for flower planting is newly proposed. Based on the requirements for flower planting, the proposed light monitoring system is thus analyzed and designed. Besides, the designed light transducer which is implemented as a light-to-frequency converter, is attractive due to that a digitized signal is produced without realizing the analog to digital converter Hence, the hardware cost could be reduced. All the functions and performance of the proposed light monitoring system are successfully proven through measurement results. The proposed light monitoring system is rather suitable for the needs in a large flower planting area.
